Template extension
Stencil extension is a nail extension technique where gel or acrylic is built directly onto a sculpting stencil. After curing, the stencil is removed, leaving a strong, natural-looking artificial nail – without glued-on tips. This method allows for individual nail shapes and lengths and is especially used in professional nail design. Dual Tips (Popits) are considered an alternative for acrylic gel modeling.
FAQ
With stencil extensions, a self-adhesive sculpting stencil is placed under the natural nail. Gel or acrylic is then sculpted on top. After curing, the stencil is removed, and the nail is further built up.
With the stencil technique, the nail is sculpted freely on a stencil. Popits (Dual Tips), on the other hand, are filled with acrylic gel, placed on the natural nail, and removed again after curing. Both methods do not require permanently glued-on tips but differ in processing.
The stencil extension is particularly suitable for advanced users and professional nail designers. It offers maximum freedom in terms of nail shape, length, and structure.
You will need nail forms, UV gel or acrylic gel, primer, cleaner, files, and a UV/LED lamp. Depending on the technique, pinching tools or pinching pliers may also be used.
Since no tips are glued on, a particularly natural transition between the natural nail and the artificial nail is created. In addition, individual nail shapes such as square, almond, coffin or stiletto can be precisely sculpted.
